Sustainable Antibiotics of this planet.

We care.

At DSM Sinochem Pharmaceuticals, we are dedicated to making the best and most sustainable antibiotics of this planet. We must: we only have one earth - and only one life. Antibiotics are crucial to the health of people everywhere. We should do everything in our power to ensure that antibiotics remain effective and available, and are thus produced responsibly. Today and for generations to come.

Can you imagine a world without antibiotics?

Unfortunately, over time bacteria develop resistance. This is a natural process, but it is accelerated by the extensive use and misuse of antibiotics, creating a major health threat to mankind:

Antibiotic Resistance

Few people know, that irresponsible production of antibiotics is contributing to this.

A global threat.

Producing Antibiotics creates waste in the form of water, air and solids. If not managed responsibly these pollutants contaminate the environment, which can create Antibiotic Resistance via natural selection pressure.

Humans may become directly sick or colonized by antibiotic resistant bacteria when consuming contaminated food or water, or when they are in contact with water just for washing or pleasure like swimming.

Something we can’t accept.

What we are already doing

We are dedicated to making the best and most sustainable antibiotics of this planet.

To prevent that we unnecessarily contribute to Antibiotic Resistance, we continuously invest in dedicated state-of-the-art waste water treatment plants, solid waste management and air filters and aim to minimize our impact on the environment and keep our planet clean. We have also started implementing accurate detection tests to measure and control antibiotic residues in our waste streams.

We must act

We only have one earth and only one life.

Antibiotics are crucial to the health of people everywhere. We should do everything in our power to ensure that antibiotics remain effective and available, and are thus produced responsibly.
